Akat has 10 vowels (6 of which can be lengthened) and 2 semivowels, alongside 24 (or 27, depending on how you count them) separate consonants. The concept root phoneme inventory is much more restricted: 8 consonants and 6 vowels. More on Akat can be found at: http://www.rikweb.co.uk/kalieda/wakat/index.php And, yes, I think it qualifies as polysynthetic. Rik
